Chapter 8: What Was That Feeling Just Now

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Johnson family did not have the tradition of letting women spend money.

Looking at James’ unhappy face, Sophia realized that her subconscious behavior might have poked James’ sensitive nerves.

After all, he had just been publicly scolded by his blind date partner for being poor.

And now, she was in a hurry to have an even game with him. Didn’t this mean that she believed the words of that woman who couldn’t tell the truth from the truth?

Sophia hurriedly put away the so-called salary card and said with a smile, “Then I’ll take it. This is the first time a man has given me money to spend. I’m not used to it.”

Sophia was telling the truth.

Even her biological father was not so generous to give her money.

Especially after her mother passed away, she seemed to have been envious of other children who had snacks and new clothes.

This was also Sophia’s motivation to work hard to earn money after she went to university.

She didn’t want to sell her soul for money anymore.

It was also at this moment that she once again sighed at the magic of fate.

She must have saved the galaxy in her previous life to be able to meet such a high-quality flash marriage partner in this life.

Not only did he save her from the embarrassing blind date, but he also treated her and gave her a house to live in. Now, he even handed over his bank card.

However, she did not know how long this marriage would last.

Sophia was afraid that when it ended, she would not be able to repay the favor. She was even more afraid that she would not be able to bear it.

However, since James had spent a lot of money, she would work hard in the future and do more housework.

Thinking of this, Sophia smiled happily.

She turned around and started tidying up the room.

When she went to the kitchen, there was nothing there.

Sophia couldn’t help but shake her head with a bitter smile. This man really didn’t know much about life.

This was such a good house and such a big kitchen. How could there be no delicious food?

Thinking of this, Sophia quickly ordered the condiments and ingredients.

Then, she spoke towards the living room, “James, let’s have dinner at home tonight. I’ve ordered some condiments and ingredients to celebrate our new house!”

“I don’t know how to cook. Do you?” James asked.

Sophia smiled confidently. “Tomato beef brisket, my specialty!”

Hearing this, James curled his lips.

Then, he looked at the dinner invitation on his phone and replied indifferently, “I’m busy.”

Tonight’s dinner was arranged by his childhood friends half a month in advance.

However, when he saw Sophia being busy in the kitchen and the confident smile on her face, he subconsciously did not want to go out.

He probably wanted to see Sophia’s cooking skills and see if she could pass in front of his family.

Who knew!

Only he knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Soon, the ingredients arrived.

The moment Sophia saw the ingredients, her eyes lit up.

James happened to see this scene.

James suddenly felt that this woman looked a little silly.

He was so happy with just a few ingredients?

Sophia didn’t see the look in James ‘eyes. She took the ingredients and said to James, “Wait a little longer. It’ll be done soon.”

Then, he turned around and went into the kitchen.

When Sophia was tidying up the kitchen, she realized that although there were no seasonings or ingredients in the kitchen, there were all kinds of stoves, and all of them were very good brands.

Sophia pursed her lips and smiled. “You’re so fussy. You don’t cook, but you bought such good cooking utensils. What a waste!”

What she didn’t know was these cooking utensils she thought were very good were just ‘useable things’ that James had asked his assistant to choose.

Under the warm light, the woman’s slightly powdered face actually had a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to speak. They were like two crystal grapes. When James looked over, Sophia suddenly thought of something and smiled. She was very beautiful.

James was distracted.

By the time he came back to her senses, Sophia had already prepared dinner.

Two servings of spaghetti with tomato sauce were already on the dining table.

“I was worried that you were hungry, so I made some simple food. I don’t know if you’re used to it.”

The brightly colored ketchup paired with the fresh and juicy meat sauce was appetizing.

James sat down and didn’t stand on ceremony. He picked up his fork and started eating.

After taking a bite, the noodles were wrapped in a rich tomato sauce, making James unable to stop.

It was obviously a very common type of spaghetti, but James felt that this spaghetti was more delicious than anything he had eaten before.

After finishing the last mouthful of noodles, a satisfied expression appeared on James ‘face.

Sophia also smiled faintly.

Although he knew that his cooking skills were not as good as Michelin chefs, it should be enough to cope with three meals a day.

Judging from James’ expression, he should be satisfied with the meal.

“There’s still noodles. Do you need more?”

James looked at the empty plate in front of him and felt a little conflicted.

As soldiers, self-discipline was the most important thing. They must not be greedy. Otherwise, they would not be able to maintain a good muscle and fat ratio.

However, when he thought of the spaghetti he had just eaten, his taste buds were throbbing in his mouth.

James compromised. He gently pushed the plate over and said, “Sorry for the trouble.”

James finished the rest of the spaghetti. It was rare for him to be so full.

It had been a long time since James had felt the joy of good food. It seemed that this flash marriage was not a bad idea.

James stared at Sophia and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

Sophia was a little embarrassed by his stare. She quickly picked up the plate and ran away in a panic. “I, I’ll go wash the dishes.”

However, in her panic, her hand grabbed James’ hand that had yet to retract.

Their fingers touched, and Sophia’s body went numb for a moment.

“No, I’m sorry…” Sophia said in a panic.

James loosened his grip uneasily.

Until Sophia turned around and went to the kitchen.

Only then did James catch his breath.

What was that feeling just now?

The two of them were clearly getting married in a flash. They were taking what they needed and helping each other.

Why did he want Sophia to hold him a while longer?
